Alzheimer's Disease

The Alzheimer Research Forum provides a comprehensive overview of Alzheimer’s disease. It offers information for the lay public on diagnosis, treatment, and caregiving, with special emphasis on current Alzheimer’s research.

The Alzheimer's Association site offers a wealth of helpful information for patients, family members, and care givers. Well-organized and easy to use (including a full index and search engine), it includes information about the organization and its many chapters; resources for care givers; medical and public policy information; a suggested reading list, a schedule of conferences; and links to other Internet resources, including sites maintained by local chapters of the Association.

The ADEAR Center, a service of the National Institute on Aging, provides extensive information about Alzheimer's disease for Alzheimer's patients, families and caregivers. The site offers research updates, referrals to other Alzheimer's centers, a list of helpful publications, a clinical trial database, and a calendar of events.
